When it comes to new ideas or brilliant business breakthroughs … people say … Go slow and carefully!”
You hear warnings such as: don’t go overboard… stay within reason … too much of a good thing … don’t try to impress … patience is a virtue … easy does it!
Do you believe these? Hebbian Learners do but I don’t … and here is why ….
While all these fine sayings may seem to be best for business, the brain tells us that the opposite is true … especially if you’re looking for brilliant breakthroughs….
So … if it’s pure myth to proceed slowly and carefully … what works better?
Brain based business strategies exchange the slow and carefully process for a fast and focused approach. Why so?
The brain is often at it’s best when it moves along in the state of flow and that is fast and focused! Did I mention focused?
I cannot remember the origin of the study a few years ago – you may remember it. I’ll keep looking through my bookshelves. Researchers were surprised to find that people who left the exams very early often did far better than those who poured over their work until the bitter end. Do you remember that research? I’ll post the source when I find it – because it really affirms that fast and focused approach.
